A Possible Objection to the Absurdity of Actualizing an Infinite Number of Things?
The Kalam Cosmological Argument
1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
∴ The universe has a cause.
The second premise is well supported by modern cosmology. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, (accelerated) expansion of the universe, and the consensus upon age from background microwave radiation in the universe (13.77 billion years give or take a few).
But the argument has been both valid and sound for many years, not just since thermodynamics of the 19th century of cosmology of the 20th century.
Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
The first premise is affirmed by all of our experience (both casual and rigorous scientific study), and it undergirds rational inquiry. It is a restatement of the law of cause and effect, to deny the first premise is to say that sometimes the answer to the question, "Why?" is "Cause." And that isn't just due to not yet knowing or laziness, but because there actually is no reason. Further, if things happen for no reason, then why give reasons for anything? And in that case, why build logical cases and reason together? As Dr. William Lane Craig says, to believe that something comes from nothing is worse than magic; at least there is a magician and hat when the bunny appears.
The universe began to exist.
As for the second premise, modern cosmology indeed adds to its strength and appeal, but there is metaphysical support that transcends the particulars of cosmological physics.
If the universe doesn't have a beginning, then it has an infinite past (consisting of an infinite number of meaningful time events, e.g. seconds). While infinity is a useful number in mathematics and helps us explain real world phenomena, an infinite amount of things cannot actually exist. If you don't believe me, consider Hilbert's Hotel. Further, a finite number plus another finite number can never equal infinity. In other words, you cannot count to infinity. You could start counting today and continue forever, and you'd never actually reach infinity. Now, you would get closer…and you would count extremely high, but 10^10^10^10^10 might be a number larger than any of us can conceive, but it is still infinitely far away from infinity.
The Paradox
I tried to find an objection to this metaphysical case; I couldn't. But it did remind me of Zeno's Paradox. While this paradox doesn't actually refute the idea of the impossibility of an infinite number of past time events, here's what might happen: if someone is familiar with the paradox but doesn't understand how to explain it, this may lead that person to consider arguments regarding infinite things with a bit of wariness. To demonstrate that this isn't just a math trick, I would like to resolve the paradox and show not only that it has an explanation, but that if the explanation required an infinite number of meaningful time events, then Hercules really never would pass the tortoise!
A simplified version of the paradox: if you want to move two meters at a speed of one meter per second, will you ever reach the two meter goal?
You see, before you move two meters, you must move half of that distance, one meter. And before you traverse the remaining meter, you must move half a meter. Before the remaining half, one quarter of a meter, and so forth…if you keep dividing, approaching an infinite number of divisions, you would never reach two meters! But, of course, you do reach the two meters. How does this happen?
First, let's consider the math showing that this infinite series of halfway points does take you to two meters.
S is the series of steps (continually halving the remaining distance). If you find half of S by halving each term (
1 becomes
1⁄2 and so forth), you find that aside from the initial term (
1) in
S, the right side of both those lines are identical series. So if you subtract
1⁄2S from
S, the answer is
We can then find the value of
S (all of our steps, continually halving the remaining distance) by adding
1⁄2 S to itself.
We do traverse the whole two meters, but it requires traversing a potentially infinite number of halfway points. How does this work?
The Missing Piece: Time
This is quite the paradox; if there are an infinite number of halves to cross, how could anyone have enough time to traverse/count them!? Ah, time. You are traveling at a velocity of one meter per second, so as we halve the distances, we must also halve the time required for that distance too.
Consider a similar series, but this time we won't go quite to infinity:
Now let's rewrite this to be more generic by replacing the denominators with
S1 = 1⁄21 + 1⁄22 + 1⁄23 = 2n-1⁄2n = 7⁄8, n=3
Double check those numbers, because if this is true, it will continue for however long we keep running this sequence.
What we find is that no matter how many times we halve the distance (even for
10100100100 divisions), since we must also halve the time…and we will never reach two seconds. We get really close, but not quite there. As the number of divisions increase approaching infinity, the time required to traverse each becomes infinitesimally small (approaches zero) and thus it requires virtually zero time to cover a virtually infinite number of halves.1 In order to not cover the two meters, time would need to never reach two seconds, but time keeps rolling on; the two seconds pass, and the two meters along with them!
If we tried to actualize an infinite number of halves and go through and count them all at one second per half; that would be an actually infinite number of time events. We could never count all of them. But, this is impossible, so we need not worry about it.
Zeno's Paradox (and this parallel example) doesn't rebut the second premise, but a better understanding helps support it. This would indeed be a paradox if it tried to actualize an infinite number of time events…but instead we find that it is explainable because the infinite isn't actualized, but if it were, one could never actually traverse the two meters. We do traverse the two meters, so an infinite isn't actualized.
Given the impossibility of an infinite number of past time events, the second premise (he universe began to exist) enjoys firm support.
1. Interesting…while considering this, I wondered how how much time or distance was meaningful in any way. You maybe be interested in planck time and planck length.
On Immigration Reform: Let's Rise to the Challenge
Dear Republicans,
(Particularly those in federal office.)
Yesterday, President Obama signed two executive actions regarding how we treat illegal aliens. Here is the press release on the President's Immigration Accountability Executive Actions; also, he outlined his plan in a public address Thursday night.
The uproar in response has been loud. Whether it's Republican pundits (e.g. Limbaugh and Hannity) or elected officials (e.g. Rand Paul and John Boehner), the response by many is that Obama is "declaring war on the Constitution", that he is "damaging the presidency itself", and that he is bypassing Congress. While I don't think Obama's action is particularly out of line with historic actions, being a small government libertarian/conservative, I'm not a fan. But given our current context, his statements and actions are not very upsetting to me.
(Aside: I'm a registered Republican and a committee member in my town. I've directly volunteered for Republican candidates at both local and federal levels. But I'm not a party man. I often fantasize about seeing changes that would empower third parties and hopefully break up this two-party system, but that's a pipe dream, so I do my best to work within this broken system. You see, I'm interested in politics for several reasons—mostly because I believe that liberty is important, that the citizenry must be challenged and responsible, and that government has serious responsibilities and the ability to effect change with stunning repercussions. This isn't a game to me. In fact, I very much dislike, though I understand, the game aspect of politics; it physically sickens me. I hope that you, my party, will both take noble stands and embrace enough pragmatism to be helpful to the best principles and, ultimately, helpful to real people.)
Pardon my blunt statements, but I think efficiency and passion are needed: do you think I'm an idiot? While many of you blabber about Obama and his very possibly inappropriate (but needed) actions, you do nothing! Our immigration issues aren't new. Do you think I'll forget the past fifteen years? In fact, one of the first times I became genuinely upset with our system and President Bush particularly was when I realized he wasn't genuinely interested in solving our immigration problems or defending America via our southern border. It's not like we (Republicans) didn't have the executive and both legislative chambers for six years at the beginning of this millennium. How could I forget this?
Yes, I'm upset about this immigration issue, quite upset. But not with President Obama (at the moment). I'm upset that we've had a massive immigration problem for well over a decade and nothing substantial has been done about it! There are many people to blame including our current president at times, but I lay the majority of the blame on my own party, the Republicans. Not only did we have a governing majority for the bulk of the Bush years, but more recently an opportunity came in the form of a bill passed in the Senate with Republican sponsors (including Graham and Rubio). Was it a perfect bill? No. I'm not even sure what a perfect bill would be. But it was a big step. Not only did the House Republicans not pass their own version, but they failed to even bring this vote up for a yes/no vote.
Republicans: if we don't want Obama's executive actions, let's actually pass a bill! A bill would clearly override and make obsolete anything Obama's stated thus far. Not only is this true, but Obama openly welcomes such action. Further, I think Obama genuinely craves such action. He has humbly but strongly requested such action. Just listen to his speech Thursday with an open mind. Here's an excerpt:
And to those Members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill. I want to work with both parties to pass a more permanent legislative solution.
And to those who reply, "He's just saying that for political points." Three thoughts:
- Stop sounding like the little boy who just was scored upon in two-hand-touch football and is trying to overturn it via technicalities. Grow up and score on your opponent like adults!
- Further, last year he supported a bipartisan bill that passed in the senate. Meaning, he isn't all talk, he has actually supported real congressional action.
- And lastly, maybe he is, but then let's call his bluff. As of this January we will have majorities in both chambers of Congress. Let's pass something meaningful and see what Obama does. If he's bluffing, it will not play well for his party come 2016.
This is more than just a rant, I hope. This is a meaningful challenge to those in my party who're stuck playing games, who talk loudly but do nothing (and for many years now). Please, let's do something. I believe the vast majority of our elected officials (from both parties) are intelligent men and women who want to govern well. I know we have different ideologies (even within our party) which make passing effective legislation difficult at times, but this is a real problem that must be dealt with in a timely manner. America needs meaningful immigration reform (and we can't sit back, the President's actions don't solve this issue in the long-term). Do something, please. Stop complaining about the fact that Obama wants to actually solve this problem and resolve to be helpful yourselves.
The next step is action, not anti-Obama action but meaningful immigration reform. Let's rise to the challenge!
Feminism the Label
Dear feminists,
I'm not very clever and rarely anything other than straightforward, so let me begin by saying I don't identify as a feminist and I never have. That said, some of you are good friends of mine. And I have purposed (and continue to do so) to better understand feminism both today and historically, and related issues that feminists care about. This is because feminism is a significant movement and because many of these issues are issues about which I also passionately care (e.g. sexual violence and objectification).
I'm writing today because I hope to shed some light on a question I've heard several times: why aren't there more feminists in America? According to a recent poll, only 20% of of Americans identify as feminists, but over 80% affirm the statement that men and women should be social, political, and economic equals. Put another way, I've heard some define feminism as broadly as the idea that "women are people too." I don't have a number on this one, but I'd put money on well over 95% of Americans affirming that statement.
So what's the catch? Why do most Americans support feminism as defined but reject the label itself?
Feminism has a complicated history of multiple iterations (waves) and continues to exist in a variety of forms and sub-movements. (In short, I realize you're not an entirely homogeneous group.) This history includes some proud moments and important victories, and, while no group of people is ever perfect, I'm thankful for the opportunities women have today in the United States. And I support efforts to improve the condition of all people and especially women around the globe. But this century plus history isn't all beautiful, I'd posit that feminism has had its share of conspicuous and negative moments. But I don't need to go back in history for an example, I just saw a video that was posted yesterday that may help us understand the public's distance from the term.
http://www.FCKH8.com (F#*k hate, in case the name initially confused you.)
This is a group that supports goals commonly purported by self-identified feminists (ending racism and sexism and LGBT inequality). Their approach is a bit crude, and they're making a point by it, I realize…still, it doesn't sit super well for me, but whatever…until they released a video about 24 hours ago: little girls dropping f-bombs (and not feminism but f#*k).
It's disturbing and saddening. And very, very unattractive. One of the numbers they cite has to do with sexual assault, an issue that is very significant to me. I have close friends who've been abused, and I have friends who've been assaulted. I have friends who've been perpetrators. This issue is truly tragic and we need to come together to solve these problems. Justice needs to be served, compassion and help extended. But this video??? This is not a solution. Feeding little girls vulgar lines only causes a myriad of further problems!
Again, I know that there are sub-movements within feminism, so I'm not holding all feminists responsible for this video (some of you are my friends, and I know you wouldn't approve). By why would I support or take on a label that when defined is embraced by 80-95% of Americans (and me) while the label itself is only embraced by a few, and has supporters that create media like this?
Here's the video if you'd like to see it. The content itself isn't anything you might not see in an R-rated movie, but the context of little girls and the manner in which they speak is somewhat disturbing.
p.s. While not nearly as offensive, the use of that classic 23% wage gap figure is continually and excessively troubling. It's so obviously false if you just think about it for a moment, and it's been demonstrated many times. Hopefully all seekers of truth (feminist or not) will clear up the usage of this terribly misleading statistic which is regularly cited by many including our current president, Obama. Here's one piece that explains it, but just use Google if you want more!
For I Shall Yet Praise Him
Three weeks ago, I was jubilant and couldn't help but share my news. For over two years I'd had vocal fatigue, and God had touched me. My voice was clear and strong…but now I'm somewhat confused. I wouldn't ordinarily bring others into my confusion, but since I've put this story out there for the world to see, I feel integrity compels me to share this publicly.
For a couple days my voice was different and better, and then it began to fatigue again. By Friday, April 11, four days later, I'd recognized this fact. But I wasn't ready to deal with it.
Yesterday, I began thinking about this present reality.
You might wonder, why am I just beginning to deal with this now? Dealing with suffering is difficult enough, but on that particular day, Friday, April 11, I had no time because I was organizing and leading a group of thirty-five persons going to a conference down in Rochester, NY. I didn't have time, I didn't have spare emotional energy…
One of the convenient (and sometimes terrible) things about my personality is that I can just shove my emotions into a corner. Not in an attempt to be fake…but in an effort to stay sane and capable. This is never a good long-term solution, hence why I'm dealing with this now.
But before I left for the weekend, I wrote some thoughts in a journal. Here are excerpts from my entry on Friday, April 11.
God, I thought April 7 was one of the biggest days of my life thus far . . . I thought You healed me. I could feel Your presence. My voice felt good, and it sounded strong and clear. I testified; I overcame doubts and trusted completely. I took a bold step of faith and declared Your goodness to the congregation of saints.
That night I was so excited. I could still feel Your presence. I couldn't sleep. So I came down, journaled. Posted the good news on Facebook . . . Initially, every notification was a reminder of Your goodness and grace.
But then, my voice began to fatigue again.
On Thursday, I began to realize my voice hasn't been healed. I haven't told anyone this revelation. It's crushing. The weight of this fatigue, I'd become accustomed to carrying. Monday night when God touched me, I cried in joy and relief. Now, that same weight is back, but I feel as if it has fallen from a great height. I am crushed.
Oh God, what has happened!? Why did you let me think I was well if I wasn't?
Thursday night and Friday morning, my head spun with many different possible explanations: Maybe God was trying to send me a message? Maybe He'd never touched me? Maybe it was all in my head? Maybe it was a bit of a "men as trees" healing? Maybe…? Maybe…? I'm convinced God did do something, and I'm still praying for healing, but I definitely don't have all the answers.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a possible explanation that would fit and confirm whatever you want to believe. But, to be honest, it's hard for me to even care at this point…because what I'd really like is to not be dealing with this vocal fatigue any longer. What happened these past three weeks would quickly become an odd dream if tomorrow I woke up fully healed.
Ah, I feel pathetic, knowing that there are people who deal with much graver suffering. But that doesn't make mine any less real. I understand this may seem trivial to an outside observer, "So you can't talk for long without getting a sore throat and losing vocal quality?" Yeah…but when you've been called to teach, counsel, preach, and sing, when these are some of your most significant callings, vocal fatigue is trying.
I confess, initially I felt a little betrayed, and I wrote that in one of my journal entries. But now, a few weeks later, as I reflect, I certainly know that God doesn't owe me anything, so I'm unoffended. However, I am somewhat confused and very bummed, to put it mildly. But I'm doing my best to trust Jesus.
Actually, in my journal entry from that original Monday night, I clearly articulated that my praise and worship don't hinge upon whether or not I'm healed. And this is another opportunity to walk in that truth.
Tonight Jesus healed me.
Oh thank you Lord!
It's difficult to express how huge this was for me…however, as I was thinking excitedly about how awesome this will be, now having my voice, I was challenged: Jesus is no different today than He was yesterday. With or without a voice, I can praise Him. With or without a voice I can do everything to which He's called me. I need not doubt that He is able when I'm not.
That said, having a voice is mad convenient, and I'm grateful! Thank you Jesus!
It's painful to even read that entry; this is a difficult season for sure. The enemy is at the door, waiting to bring in fear, frustration, discouragement, and depression. But I choose to turn to Jesus.
I'm not a very personal guy, and if it weren't for the fact that I'd already made this a very public thing on Facebook, I doubt I'd say anything to almost anyone. But I try to be honest, and I must make sure that public accounts are clear and true. But the last thing I want to do is somehow allow that which could greatly discourage me discourage others. So, I'll leave you with Psalm Forty-Two; I love how it ends, "For I shall yet praise Him."
Do I have questions? Yes. Is this wicked difficult? Yes. Is Jesus worthy of our affection, devotion, praise, and worship? Yes.
1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
"Where is your God?"
4 When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock,
"Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
10 As with a breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
p.s. I've loved this song by Tim Hughes for many years (one of the first worship songs I learned to play on guitar several years ago).
Why Do You Entertain such Futile Thoughts?
Note: this is an *entirely* fictional. An explanation.
My father, to keep his cool, was looking away from me and out the window. His speech paused for a moment as he inhaled deeply of his Cohiba Esplendido cigar, a high-end Cuban of which he was particularly fond. Personally, I don't enjoy smoke nor the negative effects upon one's health, but seeing that it lightened his dyspeptic mood, at that moment I was very thankful for the wonderful class of things resulting from tobacco use. As he exhaled, the smoke lingered for a moment but slowly began to rise; he continued. [Read the full post.]

IRVING, Texas -- Dallas 16-year-old amateur Jordan Spieth, playing in his first PGA Tour event, shot a 2-under 68 and is tied for 17th place after completing the first round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship on Friday morning.
Spieth, a high school junior at Jesuit College Prep School in Dallas, is vying to become the sixth-youngest player in PGA Tour history to make the cut in a Tour event. The top 70 players and ties will advance to play during the weekend.
Hunter Mahan and Steve Elkington were among a group of seven golfers tied for the lead at 4-under 66 after the first round was completed early Friday morning prior to the beginning of the second round.
Spieth was even-par through his first 11 holes at TPC Four Seasons Resort and Club when play was stopped due to darkness Thursday. The 3-hour, 45-minute weather delay forced 66 players to resume play Friday morning.
Spieth, the reigning U.S. Junior Amateur champion, birdied the par-5 seventh hole Friday morning after getting up and down from a tough lie near a greenside bunker. He also rolled in a 10-foot putt for birdie on No. 9, his final hole.
He had another large contingent following his every shot, and they roared when the putt fell to end his first round.
"I could look back and talk about opportunities I missed," Spieth said. "I hung in there for a while early today and got some crucial up and downs. I feel real comfortable right now with my putter and hopefully I can carry the momentum."
Spieth said he spent the night near the course and woke up at 5:45 a.m. CT feeling ready to play.
"I felt a little pumped up, but I wouldn't say I was nervous today," said Spieth, who was committed to play college golf at the University of Texas.
Spieth, playing on a sponsor's exemption, is the youngest player to compete in the HP Byron Nelson Championship. Tiger Woods was 17 when he played in 1993. He shot 77-72 and missed the cut.

- Israeli military begins deploying in cities to stop attacks
JERUSALEM: The Israeli military began deploying hundreds of troops in Israeli cities Wednesday to assist police forces in countering a wave of deadly Palestinian shooting and stabbing attacks that have created panic across the country. The military's deployment of six companies marks the first implementation of measures by Israel's security Cabinet to counter the attacks that have intensified dramatically in recent days. The Cabinet met late into the night and announced steps early Wednesday that included allowing police to seal off points of friction or incitement. Many of the recent attackers have come from Arab areas of Jerusalem, prompting calls to seal off those neighborhoods to contain potential attackers. The Cabinet also decided to strip residency rights and demolish homes of some attackers and draft hundreds more security guards to secure public transport. Israeli police said 300 soldiers had already been incorporated into their deployment on the streets of east Jerusalem, where many of the assailants are from. Also Wednesday, Israel's internal security minister said the bodies of dead Palestinian attackers should not be returned to their families for burial. Gilad Erdan said the funeral processions of Palestinians who killed Israelis often turn into "an exhibition of support for terror and incitement to murder." He said Israel should not allow them to "enjoy respect and ceremonies" after their deaths. The funerals are a frequent flashpoint for clashes and often include calls for revenge. Erdan suggested the attackers be buried without fanfare in distant cemeteries where previous Palestinian killers have been buried. The comments come after a particularly bloody day in which a pair of Palestinian stabbing and shooting attacks in Jerusalem killed three Israelis and another two attacks took place in the normally quiet Israeli city of Raanana. Three Palestinians, including two attackers, were also killed. The government has thus far been unable to stop the violence, carried out mostly by young Palestinians unaffiliated with known militant groups and apparently acting on their own. Israel says the violence has been fueled by what it says is rampant incitement against Jews and Israelis on social media spread by Islamic groups and the Palestinian leadership. In a briefing to foreign journalists, Israeli Cabinet minister Yuval Steinitz said the current conflict had less to do with political differences and more with anti-Semitic incitement to create a religious war. He showed Palestinian videos and animations that glorified the stabbings of Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem and the killing of a Jewish settler couple in the West Bank in front of their children. He also quoted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's recent statement where he blessed "every drop of blood spilled for Allah" and that Jews desecrated a Jerusalem holy site with their "filthy feet." "This is not new. It is just a new wave of terrorism and violence and this time it's totally clear that the main approach here is a religious approach. Defending Islam from the enemy of the mosque, the enemy of Islam, against the Jews," Steinitz said. "It's all about horrible, anti-Jewish, racist incitement." The attacks have caused panic in Israel and raised fears that the region is on the cusp of a new round of heavy violence. The wave of violence also comes at a time when prospects for negotiating an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seem nil. It appears to have been fueled by a deep sense of frustration among Palestinians, who believe that all paths to gaining independence and ending nearly half a century of Israeli occupation have been blocked. The violence erupted a month ago over the Jewish New Year, fueled by rumors that Israel was plotting to take over Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Israel has adamantly denied the allegations and accused Palestinian leaders of inciting the violence and spreading lies. Palestinians repeatedly barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City, hurling stones and firebombs at police. Violence was initially confined to east Jerusalem and the West Bank, territories Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 war and claimed by the Palestinians for a future state, but later spread to Israeli cities. Violent protests have also broken out along with Israel-Gaza border. Clashes continued Wednesday between Israeli troops and Palestinian protesters in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. Eight Israelis have died in a string of stabbings, shootings and the stoning of a car, while 29 Palestinians, including 12 identified by Israel as attackers, have been killed. In Tuesday's violence, a pair of Palestinian men boarded a bus and began shooting and stabbing passengers, while another assailant rammed a car into a bus stop, then got out of his vehicle and began hacking bystanders with a long knife. The near-simultaneous attacks, along with two stabbings in the central Israeli city of Raanana, marked the most serious outbreak of violence since the current round of tensions erupted. The Obama administration issued a strong condemnation of Palestinian incitement and assaults against Israelis. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he planned to visit the region soon to try and encourage calm.

Seven tips to avoid phone scams
Police department rep offers advice in response to recent victimization
Franklin - The age-old saying that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, holds for phone calls as well.
Residents have recently been targeted by phone scammers using refillable debit cards connected to victims' bank accounts to empty their accounts.
The callers told the victims that they won a sweepstakes or paid vacation. All they needed to do to redeem their prize, the scam went, was purchase and activate a reloadable debit card. The caller would then ask for the number on the back of the card. The scammers would then use that number to empty the victim's bank account.
Some scammers have been falsely calling the debit cards "phone cards" to reduce victims' suspicion. Others have sent fake or stolen checks with the promise of more money to come if the victim gave them their debit card information.
Kim Bogadi of Oak Creek Police Department's community outreach division shared the following tips to avoid becoming a victim:
Do not give out any information to someone who calls you.
Do not call any numbers given to you by someone calling you.
If someone says they are from your bank or a business, hang up, look up the business number on the Internet or phone book, and call that number to verify.
Only trust businesses that you've had a prior relationship with. Never give a business information that could be used against you.
Don't feel pressured by anyone calling you.
Be wary of telemarketers asking for bank information, as it is illegal for them to ask.
Inform any elderly or young family members not to give sensitive information over the phone.
Bogadi added that phone scams can take on a number of faces.
"The biggest thing is that they shouldn't be falling for anything that sounds too good to be true," she said. "The best way to handle it is if it sounds suspicious, notify the police department."
Another scam at this time of year involves scammers posing as members of the IRS or FBI, requesting bank information or social security card information under threats of audit and then using the information to steal the victim's identity.
Bogadi added that anyone who feels they've been the victim of a phone scam should identify the police immediately. They can also call the Wisconsin Consumer Protection Agency hotline at (800) 422-7128.

Weighing buy vs. build
Is metro Ethernet right for you?
Smart shopper's guide to networking infrastructure: Decision point
If a little Ethernet is good, then a lot of Ethernet is even better. That's what officials in Richardson, Texas, and a growing number of their public-sector colleagues are deciding as they turn to this ubiquitous networking technology to establish sprawling, metropolitan-area networks.
With an upfront investment of about $2 million, Richardson buried about 30 miles of fiber cable and installed two-dozen Gigabit Ethernet switches to establish an IP-based network connecting town offices, fire departments, libraries and police operations. Combined with $800,000 worth of existing IP telephony servers, the city now runs all of its voice and data traffic via the network.
The monetary savings have been significant: Leased T1 network services offering comparable capabilities would have cost about $10,000 a month, said Steve Graves, chief information officer for the 95,000-person municipality. Even better, because the network is Ethernet-based, Graves and his staff didn't have to learn the intricacies of a new networking standard to make it all happen. "We don't have to have a lot of high-level technical people trying to keep up with new technologies," he said.
A growing number of federal, state and local entities are taking the metro Ethernet route to tighten wide-area communications and cut networking costs. They're building networks using switches from vendors such as 3Com Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and Nortel Networks Ltd., the latter providing Richardson's hardware.
Others are opting not to lay their own fiber or optical connections for private networks and are instead subscribing to metro Ethernet services from Sprint, Verizon, SBC Communications Inc. and other vendors.
These services give public entities flexible bandwidth levels for a monthly subscription fee. The charges vary depending on bandwidth capacities, ranging from about $120 per megabit for 10-megabit connections to $20 for 100-megabit connections, or as low as $3 per megabit for 1-gigabit (1,000-megabit) connections, according to Sprint officials.
Economy and flexibility are turning information technology managers' heads, but not everyone who considers metro Ethernet is ready to commit just yet, said David Parks, senior analyst for U.S. telecommunications strategies at the Yankee Group, a Boston technology researcher.
"Metro Ethernet is definitely still in the early stages of adoption," he said. "It is being deployed selectively." Nevertheless, the technology's growth prospects are good. He pegs the current U.S. market at about $500 million and projects a 57 percent compound annual growth rate through 2008.
Driving this demand is the hunger for increased bandwidth by IT managers, who view metro Ethernet as an alternative to frame-relay or expensive Asynchronous Transfer Mode networks.
Although full of potential, metro Ethernet isn't fully mature as a service or in private networks. Still to come are standards for network-to-network interfaces that will allow service providers to guarantee performance when separate metro Ethernet networks are connected. And as users move to running time-sensitive voice and video via data networks, quality-of-service and prioritization tools are needed to avoid latency and jitter.
Nevertheless, simplicity makes metro Ethernet's future look bright. "Ethernet is easy to use and easy to maintain," Graves said.

Richard Davenport covers recruiting for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He is the host of Recruiting Thursday, a weekly radio show that airs from 7 to 8 p.m. on 92.1 FM in Fayetteville; 93.7 FM in Little Rock; 95.3 FM in Fort Smith; 96.3 FM in Hot Springs; 104.3 FM in Harrison/Mountain Home; and 106.9 FM in Arkadelphia.
Defensive lineman enjoys visit to UA
Defensive lineman Breeland Speaks, an Ole Miss commitment, attended Arkansas' June camp, was able to tour the campus and received a scholarship offer.
"When I went up there the first time, it felt like home," said Speaks, who plans to make an official visit to Fayetteville on Jan. 31.
Speaks, 6-4, 285 pounds, 4.98 seconds in the 40 yard dash, of Jackson (Miss.) Callaway, said he plans to also officially visit LSU on Jan. 17 and Ole Miss on Jan. 24. LSU recently extended a scholarship offer.
During Arkansas' November open date, Razorbacks Coach Bret Bielema spoke at an event in the Jackson area.
"Coach B, he's a great guy," Speaks said. "He came down and spoke at this little event we had and I won player of the week. It was ironic that we saw each other there."
Speaks, who had 116 total tackles and 26.5 tackles for loss this season, was named the Metro Player of the Year by The Clarion-Ledger of Jackson, Miss. National recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network rates him as a 3-star prospect.
"He's a defensive end who can bend off the edge," Lemming said. "He can dominate at the point of attack and shows pretty good closing speed and strength to manhandle offensive linemen. He maybe best suited to move inside once he gets to college."
Speaks, who was selected to play in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic, reports a 365 pound bench press and 600-pound squat.He said the official visits will have a major influence in his final decision that he plans to reveal on signing day Feb. 5.
"All of the schools are pretty much even," Speaks said. "It's just based on what I finally want to do and I just want to see how it works out on my official visits. I know sometimes that's a deal breaker." LATE OFFER?
Arkansas extended a late scholarship offer to Osceola athlete Korliss Marshall about a year ago and he went on to become one of one the more promising Razorbacks freshmen this season.
Pine Bluff Dollarway athlete Josh Liddell, 6-1, 198, 4.5, is an Arkansas State commitment and plans to officially visit the Hogs on Jan. 31. He's been talking to tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr.
"He didn't tell me that he was going to offer me on my visit, but he told me there's a good chance," Liddell said. "He talked about me possibly being this class' version of Korliss Marshall. They offered him late in the process."
Liddell, who played quarterback and safety for the Cardinals, rushed 112 times for 1,278 yards and 21 touchdowns and completed 44 of 58 passes for 1,257 yards and 15 touchdowns. Defensively, he had 24 unassisted tackles, 21 assisted tackles, 3 interceptions and 5 pass breakups.
He recently received a scholarship offer from former Arkansas State coach Bryan Harsin, who's Boise State's new coach. He plans to officially visit the Broncos on Jan. 17 and Arkansas State on Jan. 24.
An Arkansas offer would be well received.
"It would mean a lot for me," Liddell said. "All the hard work I've put in over the summer and this fall to get a offer from Arkansas and them being in the SEC would be a big accomplishment." RIDING THE CAROUSEL
When defensive line coach Charlie Partridge left Arkansas to become Florida Atlantic's new head coach, it appeared to shut the door on the Hogs' chance to land highly sought defensive end Rashawn Shaw, a Louisville commitment.
Now with the departure of Charlie Strong from Louisville to Texas. the Razorbacks are back in the race for Shaw.
"They're pretty much in the mix," said Shaw's father, Mike. "They were neck-and-neck with Louisville coming down to the wire. When Coach Partridge departed, that kind of threw us for a loop. You know how the coaching carousel is in college football."
Shaw, 6-2, 230, of Fort Pierce (Fla.) Central, has about 30 scholarship offers, including ones from Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, Tennessee and Louisville. He and Central linebacker Sharieff Rhaheed visited the Hogs last summer.
The elder Shaw said they plan to make an official visit to Fayetteville and are eyeing Jan. 24 as a date. Coaching stability appears to be on their mind.
"I was telling Rashawn that Coach Bielema just got there," Mike Shaw said. "He'll be there at least three years. The first year going in isn't a solid recruiting class. This class here is actually the measuring stick."

Marking the tenth anniversary of their existence as a performing unit, Across the Omniverse is a two-CD set which documents live recordings from 1986-1995. There are six different configurations of the band, each containing a shifting cast of ten or 11 members and the selections offer a good representation of the type of material they generally performed. Essentially, they are a just slightly left of mainstream group with fairly "standard" charts augmented by soloists quite capable of playing outside. Leader Russ Gershon showed a strong affinity for Ellington and Mingus as well as various modern masters like Roscoe Mitchell. The original compositions range from smart and catchy (Gershon's "Theme From the E-Men") to several others that sound more murky and sluggish. As in any Either/Orchestra affair, however, much of the fun is in the uncannily weird choices they make with regard to cover songs. Recordings that include versions of songs by both Burt Bacharach and John Tchicai must be few and far between, not to mention a sludgy, hard rock version of John Lennon's "(I Want You) She's So Heavy." Fans of the ensemble will certainly want this release, but newcomers would be better served by earlier, and more solid, albums like The Calculus of Pleasure or The Half-Life of Desire.

Shares of Tesla Motors (TSLA) move up 2.3% premarket as last week's earning report euphoria doesn't show any early signs of fading. Pacific Crest may have seen enough of the momentum/short squeeze run, warning that over the long term the automaker needs to ramp up gross margins to 25% from 5% and demonstrate sustainable demand.

Did anyone else see the news report over the weekend that TSLA counted sales for this past quarter of cars that have not even been closed on yet? They counted cars as sales that had deposits on them, but had not yet been delivered or actually closed the deal and collected the money.
As far as I know that is right weekendmoe, as dennisg13 said they have been very adamant about how they count 'sales'. So if it is uncovered that they are counting cars that haven't reached customers then that would be a huge huge discrepancy in what they have been telling the public.
@Rickthegeek No, I did not see the supposed "News Report". No one else here seems to be answering your question in the affirmative. Which reputable news organization made the alleged report? Please provide a link. If you can't, then you may be the victim of internet rumor mongering by shorts hoping to cover after scaring longs into selling.
Well, I hope to see a good pullback so I can get in. Should have listened to my engineering friend who bought into the (TSLA) IPO.
Something I read...I think, right here, on Seeking Alpha, mentioned that some reservations were moved forward from 1Q 2013, to 4Q 2012. But no 'Book Cooking' was alleged. In fact, the author was warning that some--probably shorties--would attempt to use that information to mislead investors into believing that something improper was occurring. In fact, the move was taken in order to avoid an announced price hike that took place in January 2013.
I think what was reported was that there was some aggressive phone calls to get some who were sitting on the fence to commit and that led to closed deals and delivered cars.
New, imported directly by owners or used too. Now I am looking for prices for used Tesla in Czech republic, for example 40 kWh model with 2 km travelled is offered at price CZK 2,000,000, what is USD 100,000. Terrible price and profit ... But gasoline prices are terrible too. US gallon per USD 7 yesterday at Shell.
SW update is no problem, warranty I hope is covered some way, but I do not know now. Tesla services are open in Wien and in Munich and new coming soon in Milano, Frankfurt.
With well set pricing here is great potential in EU. Shipment in EU will start in August, if I informed well.
Here is the article people:
Coming back to the profit reported by Tesla for the first quarter of this year, it seems that the company pulled a few strings to make it happen. According to a report from Bloomberg, Tesla urged customers who had reserved cars, but had not yet made their payments, to do so.
@Rich, both Dan and you appear at first blush to misunderstand what "receive Payment (no plural)" means.
I got my Model S on 5/10 - Tesla could have asked for the money early, they did not - there was no mention of early payment even though they knew the delivery date in March - mine is only one experience, but I have not talked with anyone, either personally or by blog that has had a different experience - so in my opinion the talk about "pushing" up collections is exactly that - TALK

The Philadelphia Premium Outlets is an 553,000-square-foot (51,400 m2) open-air outlet mall located in Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia. It is located off an interchange of U.S. Route 422 near the Limerick Nuclear Power Plant. It is owned by the Premium Outlets division of Simon Property Group. The center has 150 outlet stores such as Lane Bryant, Gap Outlet, Reebok Outlet, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Restoration Hardware, Sony, and Forever 21. The outlet mall also has a food court along with sit-down restaurants such as Ruby Tuesday.[2]
Construction of the Philadelphia Premium Outlets began on September 20, 2006. The construction of the center provided more shopping options for residents of western Montgomery County and also provided tax revenue and jobs to the community.[3] The Philadelphia Premium Outlets opened at 9 a.m. on November 8, 2007 with 120 stores. The first Saturday that the outlet mall was open it took an hour for motorists to exit US 422 and 45 minutes to find a parking spot.[4] An expansion completed in April 2008 brought the center up to 150 stores.[1][4]

Advanced Threat Protection Suite
Proactive Web-Based Malware Security ContentKeeper Advanced Threat Protection Suite is a multifaceted, multi-layered, anti-malware and malicious Web threat security system. It combines multiple advanced targeted malware identification technologies to providing an effective barrier against today's and tomorrow's Web security threats. Advanced Threat Protection Suite is a revolution in the fight against malware. It combines best-of-breed signature-based malware identification with the very latest in forensic file behavior assessment technology. The result is an airtight malware protection solution which can identify even new/unknown or uniquely targeted threats. Why Use Advanced Threat Protection? As the Web has changed, so too has the range and sophistication of Web threats. Signature-based, malware detection database systems are insufficient protection against today's active threats – capturing less than 40% of attacks in the wild. These reactive anti-virus technologies have never provided adequate protection, even when up-to-date, against a constantly shifting Web threat landscape. The Spectrum of Web-Based Threats The threat landscape today is congested with a wide array of malicious security threats:
Viruses, spyware and Trojans (signature-prone malware)
Polymorphic malware and dynamic, targeted malware creation tools (signature-resistant)
Advanced persistent threats (targeted infiltration)
Rootkits, Botnets and fast flux DNS command & control systems (runs behind AV)
Drive-by malware downloaders and Scareware/Fake Anti-Virus ("Ransomware")
Social engineering/exploitation and social networking account hacking (lowered guard syndrome)
The Advanced Threat Protection Advantage ContentKeeper Advanced Threat Protection meets this shifting landscape of Web threats head-on. It provides a solution which unites the best of today's anti-virus technologies with sophisticated, real-time malicious program assessment to form the next generation of Web security. Combined, the Advanced Threat Protection Suite is able to protect organizations from not just viruses, but active browser exploits, new, zero-day vulnerabilities and polymorphic threats which are normally immune to signature-based detection. Advanced Threat Protection Suite is a multifaceted anti-malware and malicious Web threat security system. It combines three layers of advanced malware identification technology to provide a total barrier against Web threats:
Streaming Malware Defense – high performance signature-based anti-virus with fast, real-time packet inspection. SMD identifies known viruses and spyware.
Cloud Sandbox – a virtualized test computer environment where suspicious samples are executed and analyzed for any signs of malicious behavior. CSB analyses files that pass the previous layers of anti-malware inspection.

|Re: Data model for boolean attributes
|Sat, 22 Mar 2014 01:31:34 GMT
Of course what you really want is this: create table x( id text, timestamp timeuuid, flag boolean, // other fields primary key (flag, id, timestamp) ) Whoops now there are only 2 partition keys! Not good if you have any reasonable number of rows... Faced with a situation like this (although this is extreme) of a limited number of partition keys - and if this access path is important - then you can add shards like this: create table x( id text, timestamp timeuuid, flag boolean, // other fields shard int, primary key ((flag, shard), id, timestamp) ) The last part of the partition key may be used with IN so you can query like this: select * from x where flag=true and shard in (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,...); I monitor partition sizes and shard enough to keep them reasonable in this sort of situation. The C* infrastructure parallelizes a lot of the activity so such queries are quite fast. Oh, and ORDER BY works across shards. But the main point is: drive from your queries. Designing for C* is NOT like SQL - don't expect to develop a normalized set of tables to do it all. Start with how you want to access data and design from there. So - if you need to get a bunch of ids fast given a flag and maybe an id/timestamp range, and your volumes/sizes are such that the number of shards can be kept reasonable, this might be a good design, otherwise its crap. Drive from your own access patterns to derive your (typically denormalized) table defs. ml On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 3:34 PM, DuyHai Doan <email@example.com> wrote: > Hello Ben > > Try the following alternative with composite partition key to encode the > dual states of the boolean: > > > create table x( > id text, > flag boolean, > timestamp timeuuid, > // other fields > primary key (*(id,flag)* timestamp) > ) > > Your previous "select * from x where flag = true;" translate into: > > SELECT * FROM x WHERE id=...

One of my favorite purchases. Very sturdy and elegant.
Bought this to use on a long empty wall in my living room. Unit was easy to assemble but it is heavy because it is solid wood and will need two people to lift the top. You can't beat the price. We are very happy with this purchase.
NIce console for the price. It is light weight. Looks better when there are decorative items on it.
Great table. Definitely walnut brown, not quite as cherry as shown. Very large and sturdy.
I use this console table as a desk behind my sofa. It fits perfectly, the full length of the sofa. The table provides tons of workspace with large shelves on each side for storing all of my supplies. The table is sturdy,elegant and has a beautiful color to it.
Very pleased with the quality/ look/ value ratio. The assembly was easy according to my husband. Delivery timely. Packaged well.
Excellent Quality, easy to assembly and great wood color
Received 3 days after we ordered. Took about hour to put together. Everything fit perfectly. Using it as a sofa table. Very heavy and great quality for the price. I just wish they had other pieces that matched for the living room.
Easy to put together with gorgeous end product. It took me twenty minutes to put together after it was unpacked. It will make a great desk. The color is perfect.
After reading the customer reviews I decided to order this item. I received it in a timely manner. The directions were clear and straightforward. You certainly need two people to assemble the table. It is a beautiful addition to our family room. I wish that matching end tables were available. I highly recommend this product.
Shipping was fast. The quality of the table was very good, it is very sturdy and does not feel or look cheap. I chose this table because i liked the look of it and wanted one with an opening in the middle. Installation was not difficult as i did it by myself, but would be easier to put the top on with 2 people. Very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality table in this style.
I bought this for one of my offices at work . Looks very nice, heavy and sturdy. Was easy to put together. I love it so much that I will order another one for my own office.
This is a beautiful, solid, heavy table. The first one came damaged and Customer replaced it. It is beautiful piece of furniture, suitable for any decor. I paired it with the Diva Leather Outback Bridle Sofa, not as a sofa table, but in front of my windows and the styles work perfectly. It would work as perfectly with a nice linen sofa. I am very pleased with this table.
I was hopeful after reading all the great reviews that I would love this table. I LOVE THIS TABLE. For furniture that you have to assemble, this is a winner. The pieces fit nice and tight yet assembly is simple. For the size/scale/style this is the best value imaginable. I scoured all the tables online and looked at Ethan Allen, Thomasville, and Bassett in person to see some options up close. The best $319.99 I have spent in a long time. Thanks overstock.com!!
I was a little nervous to put this table together after reading reviews. I'm a single female and it took me about 30 minutes to assemble and flip the table. I did use a drill instead of the allen wrench that came with the table, which sped up the process. The instructions were very straightforward and all of the pre-drilled holes lined up. It was a little difficult to flip over since the top is so heavy, but I did it by myself! The table is beautiful. I love the finish and how big it is. It is also very solid and sturdy.
This is a perfectly adequate table that will do very nicely behind my sofa until I can find another 70inch sofa table that really knocks my socks off. Probably at Overstock. And preferably under $500 lol. This one went together very easily, my niece and I had it up and running in under an hour. The top IS VERY HEAVY and requires two people (normal people all you bodybuilders) to 'man'handle it. It doesn't have great 'design' to it but then that's perfectly obvious from the picture. What it does have is great value for the price and it's....perfectly adequate...did I say that already ; ) ?
I like the console table. My husband and I have sculptures and awards and it holds all of them comfortably. It's a very sturdy piece.
Over the years we've ordered many fine pieces of furniture from Overstock. By far, this is the best yet accentuated by the heavy hardwood top featured in this Ladder Console Table. Plus, the construction and assembly was impressively planned for ease and durability. This is truly great value for the money. Any negative comments seem to be posted (as is usually the case) by those who either don't take the time to read directions or understand blow-up diagrams. As promised, the item arrives in two separate well-designed and protected packing crates and the assembly could not have been simpler. Just follow the easy instructions and you will not be disappointed.
Maybe giving all "excellent" ratings is a little skewed, but when you order sight-unseen, I think we've all vacillated between highly disappointed and unexpectedly pleased. This table is incredibly heavy/solid and everything was engineered/milled perfectly. I was hesitant - almost didn't buy it - because of the reviews that stated it was hard to build and very complicated. I hate nothing more - I'm not patient and punt those projects to my wife. In this case is was simple and the entire set up was maybe 15 minutes. Just a handful of easy, well-thought-out steps and everything was square and fit like it was handcrafted. I'll look for more from this company!
Perfect for a thin desk to put a computer on. The height is a bit tall, and poor for ergonomics, but I don't mind because it works from a style standpoint.
